Malta ranked first in personal freedom in business

Malta – the smallest economy in the eurozone – ranked 38th out of 153 countries in a list by Forbes ranking business friendliness.

The list, which was compiled at the end of every year for the past 12 years, took 15 different indicators into consideration when being drawn up.

A number of different reports, such as the World Bank’s Doing Business Report and the World Economic Forum’s annual Global Competitiveness report, provided the basis for the different categories by which the countries were rated.
